Student Jobs
Students complete a variety of jobs on a daily basis. Every day, the students check the job schedule in order to see the job they need to complete that day. Once they locate their job, they collect a corresponding job card and the needed materials. These jobs are set up to only take a few minutes and do not contain more than 8 steps.
Once a week, students also complete a more complex job. Students make ice packs for the school nurse. This job requires several steps and is completed in assembly line fashion. Each week, the students complete a different portion of the job. This provides them with an opportunity to not only complete a task, but to work cooperatively as a group. The students also complete more complex jobs that are more “secretarial” in nature. These jobs may consist of filing, organizing, or taking inventory of classroom items.
